The Near Dearly Departed

from Make It On Time by Rawlins Cross

/

lyrics

FOR GARY ROBBINS

In a world of changes we live and so the tide will turn and the cold wind blow
Friends and lovers that we've come to know so swiftly have departed
But I've lived to learn that this much is true:
The days we have are a precious few and we all become the things we do
I will not be downhearted

Changes come and change has come again with the rising sun and the passing of a friend

Through the wiles of nature and the hand of fate we finish what we started
You take your chances and you leave behind the near dearly departed

World of wonders on the silver screen on a starry night in a childhood dream
No use dwelling on what might have been or otherwise pretending
Claiming as a victim of circumstance on a wayward trek in a loner's trance
You can't give living a second glance waiting for the ending

Changes come and change has come again
with the rising sun and the passing of a friend

We live the mystery right to the end to see if we've been outsmarted
Or if hope lies waiting on the other side for the near dearly departed
The near dearly departed

(Geoff Panting)
